Oceanain (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Regarding a new sport, free diving, in the process of exercising, you need to hold your breath after inhalation, keep as relaxed as possible, increase the skill and efficiency of each action, and increase your understanding of yourself every time you dive. It's a sport you compete with yourself.
All the moments in the photos require more skills than imagined, because all activities are in the sea, so they are often affected by the natural environment, plus their own buoyancy, they have to face themselves at the same time. Adapt to changing sea conditions.
The photos show a variety of free diving methods, including competition, photography, exploration, mermaid, and recreational diving.
AUTHOR
I’m an underwater photographer and a freediving instructor from Taiwan. I spend most of the time on Green Island, which is on the east coast of Taiwan. I explored the ocean by freediving, and took all the photos with only the time of one breath. Hopefully these photos can let people to explore the world from different angles, and able to feel the profound connection between human and nature.
